A hens or bucks night without personalised stubby holders is like a BBQ without snags — technically possible, but why would you?
Whether you're the maid of honour pulling it all together or the best man pretending he had it planned all along, here's everything you need to know.
## Why stubby holders work so well for hens and bucks
They're practical (everyone needs one), they're affordable (easy to split across the group), and they double as a photo prop throughout the night. A matching set of stubby holders in the party colour with everyone's names or a cheeky catchphrase? That's a memory, not just a favour.
## Design ideas that actually work
**For hens nights:**
- Bride's name + date + "She's getting hitched" or "Last ride" or whatever matches the vibe
- Each bridesmaid's nickname on their own stubby (people love personalised-to-them favours)
- A photo of the bride — our Funny Face collection is perfect for this
- Floral designs, palm prints, or anything that matches the colour theme
**For bucks nights:**
- Groom's name + "Last day of freedom" (yes, it's a cliché, yes, everyone still loves it)
- A funny photo or caricature of the groom
- Team theme — matching jerseys, footy colours, or sporting club designs
- Coordinates of the venue or destination if you're doing a bucks weekend away
## Matching the stubby to the dress code
If everyone's wearing a specific colour, try to match or complement it on the stubby. It sounds like a small detail but it makes the group photos look a thousand times better.
## How to coordinate a group order
If you're ordering individual stubbies with different names (e.g. one per bridesmaid), the easiest approach is:
1. Decide on a consistent design template
2. Collect everyone's preferred name or nickname before ordering
3. Submit them all in one order with a note listing each name variation
We don't charge extra for personalising individual names within the same design — just let us know the variations in the order notes.
## Rush orders for last-minute planners
Look, we know how hens and bucks nights work. Someone's been "organising it" for three months and it's now two weeks out. No judgment — that's what our Rush Order add-on is for. Dispatch within 2–4 business days from proof approval. Express post on top of that and you're sorted.
## Quantity and budget
With no minimum order, you can order exactly as many as you need. For a group of 10–15 people, the 3mm foldable stubby in a standard design is a great option that keeps costs down. If the budget allows, upgrade to 5mm for something that feels more substantial.
